Well, judging from the fact that a theme in the book is choices over
birth...Dumbledore just wouldn't see Voldemort as being Tom Riddle
anymore. Tom Riddle is dead, and Voldemort rose from the ashes. Thus
to call him Tom, well...he'd be calling him by the name of a dead
man. Same reason, perhaps, that Wormtail is no longer called Peter.
